This was new in 1936 and it is equally as 
beautiful as the above and perhaps more so 
since the blooms are double. There are 
many lovely colors that will give a rich 
effect in the garden during the late spring. 
It is a choice subject for the rockery.

Machaeranthera tanacetifolia 
This lovely annual is only now receiv- 
ing the attention it deserves. It is easy to 
grow, forming showy compact bushes only 
12 inches high and about 2 feet across. It 
blooms during late summer and autumn 
when the bushes are covered with lovely 
daisy-like blooms which have a marked 
resemblance to a hardy fall-flowering per- 
ennial Aster. They are a lovely light lay- 
ender-blue color. The foliage is of graceful 
Fern-like form. Splendid for the border 
and rockeries. Pkt. 20c; special pkt. 75c. 
Tithonia speciosa, Early-Flowering 
Tithonia speciosa ® 
Mexican Sunflower 
Golden Flower of the Incas

One of the most brilliant of all fall 
flowers with gorgeous glistening orange- 
vermilion blooms borne profusely on plants 
5 to 6 feet in height. It blooms 10 days 
earlier than the type which makes it partic- 
ularly valuable in sections where the 
season is only moderately long. Its height 
makes it valuable for background planting 
but its greatest value is as a cut flower 
which lasts a long time in water. Pkt. 20c; 
special pkt. 60c.
